Backyard birds

When we first moved to our new house we had a lot of bird visitors so I put out a lot of seed and suet in several different feeders. Then came the starlings and the cowbirds and the house sparrows who hogged it all. I finally took down all the feeders except for the thistle feeders and the meal worm feeder which I control as much as I can. Clearly, I am here for the Bluebirds, but it is nice to see the others and if I ever get the starlings and cowbirds under contol, I will put the seed feeders up again.
